UW Combined Fund Drive kicks off with Charity Fair & Silent Auction

The UW Combined Fund Drive begins its fall campaign with a Charity Fair & Silent Auction on Thursday, Oct. 22, in the HUB ballroom from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Representatives from more than 80 nonprofits will be on hand ready to describe their community work.

The UWCFD, UW’s workplace giving campaign, raised more than $2 million last year for 1,800 nonprofits and for many UW scholarships and programs. This year’s campaign runs through Dec. 4.

A coin drive, sock drive, and silent auction benefit the featured charity, Facing Homelessness. Bring your spare change and a package of new socks for men, women, or children to support Facing Homelessness, whose mission is to create an awareness of people living on the street, and to help.
